Ibrahimovic has scored just one goal in his last 11 matches, Bailly is injured and Mkhitaryan has started only one game all season.

Scholes believes Mourinho needs time - and a lot more spending - to get the squad to where he wants it.

"This United team will be unrecognisable in 18 months, two years," Scholes said, "when Jose has his team and has four transfer windows.

"I think, in two years, this team will be unrecognisable from what it is now but whatever we do in this two years has to be a bonus.
"Whether they can win the League Cup, whether they can win the FA Cup. Can they win this competition?"

BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey later revealed that a frustrated Scholes had scribbled all over his notes while watching the game.

He wrote on Twitter: "This is Paul Scholes' team sheet from tonight's Man Utd game.

Scholes also said: "There's only so much a manager can do, but once the players go across the white line they have to be ready and they obviously weren't tonight.

"United were rattled, they couldn't handle it and for most of the game Fenerbahce bullied United.

"With those two centre halves United looked as thought they could concede goals all day long. When they go to Swansea on Sunday, they will have to score three goals.

"I think United have two big problems at the minute. They're really struggling to score goals and to win games of football with Blind and Rojo at centre half, they almost need to score three goals, because they are always going to give goals away all the time.

"They don't sense danger, they have no pace, they don't get physical against people and it's a worry because at the other end they really don't look like scoring goals."

United boss Mourinho criticised his team after their poor start - Moussa Sow scored with a brilliant overhead kick just two minutes in.

The Portuguese said: "What disappointed me most, is I have quite a big experience of playing Turkish teams,.

"I played twice with Real Madrid and twice with Chelsea, Porto too.

"I passed all my experience to the players. If you play against them in our home, it’s easy, always 2-0, 3-0 4-0, but you come to Turkey and it is completely different story.

Jose Mourinho blasted his side for their performance against Fenerbahce

"I told them to wait for that, to be focused on that and not to be focused on the easy game against them at Old Trafford last week, but we start the game as though we are asleep and they start at 100mph.

"For me football is from the first second, they played an emotional game and they deserved to win.

"We are fragile, I know we are. We have to be stronger mentally and start the game better than we did.

"Our problem started in our global attitude. They were playing a Champions League final, and we were playing a summer friendly.

"That is the reality of the way the game started."

Mourinho was hugely disappointed when Moussa Sow scored after just two minutes

He added: "Football is not just about quality, it is also about effort, commitment, playing [to] the limits, giving everything.

"A team that concedes a goal after two minutes is a team that is not ready, it is a team that is not mentally prepared, not focused, not concentrated."
